Club Career

Club(s)

After being spotted playing for Ratby Groby Juniors, Emile signed for Leicester City FC
youth academy as a trainee,
and signing professional forms on 3 October 1995. He played 154
league matches, scoring forty times. His performances saw Heskey sign for Liverpool
FC for £11 million on 10 March 2000, and despite a proposed £12 million
move to December 2002, Heskey played 150 times for the Reds, scoring
39 times. Eventually, Heskey did move on, when he signed for Birmingham City FC
on
20 May 2004 for an eventual £4.75 million fee, effective on 1 July. His time at St
Andrew's was plagued by injury and this limited him to just 14 goals
in 68 league appearances. As City were relegated, Heskey moved onto Wigan Athletic FC for £5.5
million on 7 July 2006 where he scored another fifteen goals in 81
league appearances. Heskey then signed for Aston Villa FC on 23
January 2009 for £3.5 million, he left having made 92 Premiership appearances, scoring
nine times. He did not have his contract renewed, and on 21 September
2012, he signed a one-year contract with Australian A-League side
Newcastle Jets FC. After retiring, he re-signed for Bolton Wanderers FC on
24 December 2014. He made sixteen Championship appearances, scoring
once.

Due to the fact that
many matches rarely stuck to exactly ninety minutes long, allowing time
for injuries, errors and substitutions. The minutes here
given can only ever be a guideline and cannot therefore be accurate, only
an approximation.
